We Olive – exterior and patio
We Olive
Join Brett Ludemann of Flora/Fauna Wines on June 7th as he helps We Olive launch their Rosé All Day Thursdays series with style. On the evening of the 7th, Ludemann will guide guests through a tasting of unique and delicious Rosé wines. Guests will receive a 3 oz taste of 5 different wines paired with an array of small bites to welcome in the warm Summer months ahead.
Side-note, you’ll probably hear more about Ludemann in the coming year as his new wine brokerage finds its feet. Here’s a bit of background:
Flora/Fauna is a small, independently owned and operated wine brokerage located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Brett’s goal is to introduce authentic, terroir-focused and natural wines made by artisanal producers rather than large, corporately owned wineries. He prefers wines made with organic and sustainably farmed fruit using natural techniques without any commercial additives—yeast, powdered tannin, coloring agents, acid, enzymes, nutrients, etc. Just like Flora/Fauna, all his wineries are independently owned and operated.
With that focus in mind, the June 7th event will see the following wines poured:
Broc Love Rosé
POE Rosé
Habit Rosé
Keep Rosé
Idlewile Rosé
The evening runs 6.30 – 9.00 p.m. and tickets cost $50 via: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rose-event-at-we-olive-tickets-45997976185?aff=ehomecard

The Garten
Lastly, something of an ongoing event that you’ll want to keep tabs on during the coming months (except, um June weirdly, read on below). Officially kicking off on May 25th with a public (ribbon cutting) – The Garten – a partnership between Red Rock and Mountain West, two great local brewers.
The Garten will be a new outdoor patio at Mountain West, modeled on a traditional German beer garden. Naturally, Mountain West ciders and Red Rock beers will be on hand, plus a selection of featured local spirits. The two businesses are aiming to make The Garten the go-to summer spot to relax, there will be live music and food trucks too.
Located in the Marmalade district at 425 North 400 West, The Garten is provisionally planned to be open on Fridays (11 a.m. – 10 p.m.) Saturdays (11am-10pm) and Sundays (11am-5pm) and is dog friendly too.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
Want to know more? This is why I am the way I am.
